Upcycle Fashion attended the Swish and Pout clothes swapping event at Balham Bowls Club yesterday. It was a fabulous event and it was great to speak with many swappers and vintage buyers. Bringing the upcycling, repairs and 'alteration station' to the event provided an opportunity to give advice to swappers with clothing at home in need of some TLC as well as promoting the idea of upcycling and inspire others to have a go!
